6 October 2018. After attempting to identify what I thought was a clutch of slug eggs or some such, I learned it was instead a slime mold colony.

I've also just begun identifying the fungi and slime molds.

14 July 2018. Prior website updates weren't documented, so this is the first one, and it also marks a significant rebuild of the site: it had become cluttered and unwieldy, particularly the Home Page, and was in desperate need of reorganization. Many pages have been rewritten, some deleted, others shuffled around. I hope you enjoy it. And if you ever get lost, check the new Site Map—there's a link to it on every page.
